Enyimba boycott fails

A planned players’ boycott to a training camp by Enyimba in Otta has failed as most of them have turned up there.

The Aba club’s players from last season are still grumbling over unpaid sign-on fees over several seasons and had planned to stay away from the training camp near Lagos. However, MTNFootball.com checks have since revealed that the likes of Emmanuel Anyanwu, Chinedu Udoji, Rasheed Olabiyi, Ayo Saka have all made their way to the Otta camp.

Markson Ojobo is also expected to join, so also new signing Sibi Gwar. The only exception is midfielder Eneji Otekpa, who will not be part of the training in Otta. Otekpa, who has been capped by the Super Eagles, missed the last part of last season after an appendicitis operation. A total of 35 players moved into Otta for a two-week residential training.

Two-time African champions Enyimba are hoping to return to winning ways after they failed to win a major honour in the last two seasons.
